- Abstract
- We used a combination of polarized Raman spectroscopy experiment and model magnetism-phonon coupling calculations to study the rich magneto-Raman effect in the two-dimensional (2D) magnet CrI3. We reveal a layered-magnetism-assisted phonon scattering mechanism below the magnetic onset temperature, whose Raman excitation breaks time-reversal symmetry, has an antisymmetric Raman tensor, and follows the magnetic phase transitions across critical magnetic fields, on top of the presence of the conventional phonon scattering with symmetric Raman tensors in N-layer CrI3. We resolve in data and by calculations that the first-order Ag phonon of the monolayer splits into an N-fold multiplet in N-layer CrI3 due to the interlayer coupling (N >= 2) and that the phonons within the multiplet show distinct magnetic field dependence because of their different layered-magnetism-phonon coupling. We further find that such a layered-magnetism-phonon coupled Raman scattering mechanism extends beyond first-order to higher-order multi phonon scattering processes. Our results on the magneto-Raman effect of the first-order phonons in the multiplet and the higher order multiphonons in N-layer CrI3 demonstrate the rich and strong behavior of emergent magneto-optical effects in 2D magnets and underline the unique opportunities of spin-phonon physics in van der Waals layered magnets.
